Video: Action for Anaphylaxis

Description:

People who care for allergic children - parents, teachers, school nurses and pre-school staff, for example - sometimes find information hard to come by.

The Anaphylaxis Campaign has produced 'Action for Anaphylaxis' – a training video that meets this need.

Particular attention has been paid to schools, but the video's messages will prove relevant wherever there are people with life-threatening allergies. The video covers the following topics:

• Revised information about treatment

• Clear instructions on administering adrenaline by injection

• A look inside a children’s clinic where a school nurse receives awareness training

• A mock-up of an “emergency” involving an allergic child at school

• An interview with John Warner, Professor of Child Health at Southampton General Hospital

• Case histories of allergic reactions
